SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS
DETERMINATION AND FORMALISATION
The question of determiners in natural language processing
BELLATERRA (Barcelona) 25 and 26 February 2000
Conference Theme
The majority of linguists are in agreement as far as the notion of
determination even though its universality or not remains an open
question. Identifying determiners is not a significant problem and in
natural language processing (NLP) their automatic recognition does not
pose a major difficulty. However, automatic generation and translation
of these linguistic units remains a problem. As a result, modelling
systems of determiners relative to a set of languages has yet to be
done.
Starting from this observation, researchers working on formalising
determination are invited to present their findings.
The conference theme concerns not only those working in NLP but also
all who are interested in language formalisation.
